Shane looked faintly injured. โI make it my business to know everything about silver. And I saw your notes. I study up on everything when it comes to your boss, anyway.โ There was a flicker of jealousy about that, but she didnโt have time, or energy, to consider it very much. Not even whether or not she liked it.
Rachel CaineAnybody else think that was weird?โ Shane asked as they got into the car. Eve sent him an exasperated glance; the three of them were, of course, in the backseat. Amelie had the front, with Michael. โYa think? In general, or in particular?โ โWeird that we got through the entire thing, and I didnโt have to hit anybody.โ There was a moment of silence. Michael said, as he started the car, โYouโre right, Shane. That is strange.
Rachel CaineHer phone rang again. โWhat?โ she snapped as she answered it. Myrnin, of course. โAre you on your way?โ โNo!โ โClaire, there are things to do.โ โHere, too,โ she said. โAnd Iโm staying here, believe me.โ Myrnin was silent for a beat, and then he said, โBob would be very disappointed in you.โ โBob the spider?โ โHe looks at you like a mother, you know. Iโm surprised at your lack of work ethic. Think of the example you set forโโ She hung up on him and turned the phone on vibrate and relaxed in Shaneโs arms.
